Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Scoop into mounds on parchment and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Dice strawberries, combine with sugar in a saucepan, and simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.
  3. Cream butter and sugar together until light. Mix in egg and vanilla, then gradually blend in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
  4. Fold cooled strawberry jam into cookie dough gently to retain swirls.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough, place frozen cheesecake mound in the center, encase it with dough, and roll in granulated sugar.
  6. Place cookies on baking sheet and bake for 11-12 minutes until edges are set and center looks soft.
  7. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
